Perhaps 20 officers confronted Doerbecker in the back yard of his father's ocean-side house, after a late evening/early morning round of Doerbecker drunkenly expelled from local bars and an attempted burglary across the street. His refusal to drop a 12-inch knife lead police to fatally shoot him in the head. In June 2014 his parents settled a $1M wrongful-death suit with the county.
